Nobody jumped on this, so I'll post it.
Peter Brown, poet-turned-lyricist for Jack Bruce's songs both at Cream (ahem, "The Cream") and solo, died on May the 19th.
"Pete Brown, a cult figure in British poetry, rock, psychedelia and rhythm and blues who wrote lyrics for many of Cream’s classic songs, has died aged 82. He had been living with what he recently described as “various forms of cancer” for a number of years."

A poem
by Pete:
I wrote a poem
Then threw it in the river
The fish thought it was bread
And ate it.
